Whole grain Spaghetti dish Al Dente

As always pasta dishes are a quick way to get dinner on the table. This whole grain spaghetti dish would wow your tastebuds. For me I think it’s the fact that it’s Al dente that makes the cut because mushy pasta ain’t my thing.

I know you are wondering about my al dente ramblings. Don’t mind me o it simply means cooking the spaghetti till it’s firm to the bite. Meaning don’t cook till the spaghetti is too soft and mushy. Most times you achieve al dente in just 8 mins.

I used to think whole grain pasta would be horrible tasting until I tried it and was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t taste a lot different from it’s non whole grain counterpart. Actually I was bit concerned about the kiddos but guess what they didn’t even notice or could it be that they were just super hungry and grateful for food🤔. Naaa that wasn’t the reason I think they really didn’t notice because MR K didn’t notice as well.

Talking about the kiddos, they resume school tomorrow. I told them I was going to do a happy dance as I drop them off at school because they practically drove me nuts this summer. They laughed so hard and kept telling me how they would love to see my happy dance. For real I know I would miss them but right now I need them in school oh my goodness.

Well back to our whole grain Spaghetti, matter. Since they enjoyed it and didn’t even notice, I decided to share this recipe in the hope that It would encourage you to try some whole grain pasta if you haven’t. Let’s get cooking so we can enjoy the food.

I am curious to know how you tackle whole grain pasta and I would be delighted If you join the conversation below and follow along on Instagram and Facebook.

Bring 4-6 quarts of water to the boil, add 2 Tbsp of salt to the water.

Add the spaghetti and cook for about 8 mins stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Drain the spaghetti but don't rinse.

Mix the spaghetti with the stir fried mix.

Recipe Notes

Tips:

Cook the spaghetti for extra 1 or 2 mins if you like yours softer. Start the stir fry before bringing the water to a boil it saves time. This way when the spaghetti is done the stir fry would be ready.
